Translation Agency in Frankfurt: Expert Document Legalization in Germany's Financial Center

 

Frankfurt am Main is not just a city of skyscrapers and banks; it is Germany's main air and financial gateway. Here, in the heart of the Rhine-Main region, live and work a large number of Ukrainians: from employees of international corporations and IT specialists to students and those seeking temporary protection.

The presence of the Consulate General of Ukraine makes Frankfurt a center of attraction for Ukrainians from the entire state of Hesse and neighboring regions. Passport processing, notarial actions, university admission, or opening a bank account — all require impeccably prepared papers. "Admiral" Translation Agency in Frankfurt provides professional linguistic support, helping you overcome bureaucratic hurdles quickly and reliably.

 

Which Documents We Translate in Frankfurt

 

Given the city's status as a business hub, the range of requests here is much wider than in other regions. We have experience working with both private individuals and businesses.

Our main areas of activity are:

  • Documents for the Consulate General of Ukraine: We regularly prepare translations for consular actions: renunciation of citizenship, drafting powers of attorney, passport issues. We know exactly the requirements of the diplomatic institution regarding translation formatting.

  • Financial and Bank Documents: Frankfurt demands accuracy in numbers and terms. We perform professional translation of bank statements, income certificates, tax returns, and contracts for mortgages or opening accounts in German banks (Sparkasse, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank).

  • Personal Documents (Registry Office): Translation of birth, marriage, and divorce certificates for registration at the Bürgeramt, obtaining health insurance (Krankenkasse), and receiving social benefits.

  • Educational Documents: Admission to Goethe University (Goethe-Universität) or the Frankfurt School of Finance requires diploma translation, certificates, and academic transcripts executed according to German educational standards.

  • Legal and Corporate Texts: Translation of GmbH statutes, Commercial Register extracts (Handelsregisterauszug), contracts, and court decisions for Ukrainian businesses entering the Hesse market.

  • Medical Reports: Urgent medical translation of diagnoses and medical histories for treatment in clinics of the region.

 

Legalization in Hesse: Sworn Translation and Apostille

 

German bureaucracy does not forgive mistakes. For your documents to be accepted by official institutions in Frankfurt, they must have the appropriate level of certification.

 

1. Sworn Translation (Beglaubigte Übersetzung)

 

For submission to state authorities (courts, Registry Office/Standesamt, Foreigners' Authorities), a translation performed by a sworn translator (ermächtigter Übersetzer) is required. This specialist is authorized by a Regional Court (e.g., Landgericht Frankfurt am Main) to certify the accuracy of the translation with their personal seal. Important: A standard translation, even if certified by a Ukrainian notary, will mostly likely not be accepted by a German official (Beamter). We ensure the execution of a sworn translation that is guaranteed to be recognized throughout Germany.

 

2. Apostille (Apostille)

 

This is a stamp confirming the legal force of a Ukrainian document abroad. For example, for a German Registry Office to recognize your divorce certificate, it must have an Apostille from the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. "Turnkey" Service: If you are already in Frankfurt but your documents lack an Apostille — don't worry. You can send them to us, we will place the Apostille in Kyiv, make the translation, and return the ready package to you.

 

3. Notarized Certification

 

Used for less formal purposes (internal corporate workflow, some HR issues) or for submission to Ukrainian authorities. Notarized document translation in Frankfurt via our service is a fast and budget-friendly solution.
